Developing more entertainment and special vendors to celebrate the Lemon Lily, our fourth festival concentrates even more on the education and restoration aspects. This year features two days of almost continuous speakers covering multiple subjects relevant to mountain gardening and conservation. The Nature Center continues to work in partnership with the Idyllwild Garden Club providing educational op-portunities for Idyllwild School students and local residents. Currently, weekend volunteers are learning about invasive non-native species while removing threatening plant life along the creek in Idyllwild County Park Campground. Working with the Idyllwild School Garden Club, young gardeners are given the chance to develop their skills while learning about our native flora and fauna. This year’s activities kick off with our Lemon Lily Launch/Taste of Idyllwild, combining two fun and suc-cessful events from previous years. Erin O’Neill will, once again, open her beautiful home to host this event from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 12. The fundraising evening features live music and re-freshments, with an assortment of Idyllwild’s restaurants offering samplings of their cuisine. Tickets for this com-bination of popular events are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Purchase advance tickets at the Idyllwild Nature Center or call (951) 659-3850 to make reservations. Local quilter Annamarie Padula’s third fundraising creation, an exquisite interpretation of last year’s Lemon Lily Art Banner winner, is on display that evening and throughout the weekend. Local artist Colin Garth Smith
was last year’s banner winner. Chances to win Padula’s creation will be available that evening and all weekend. Saturday always presents a full day of activities at both the Nature Center and in the center of town. At the Nature Center, Pioneer Town continues to be popular with both children and adults, offering the opportunity to learn what life was like during a time when the Lemon Lily was prolific in Idyllwild. The Penny Royal Players, a group of women who convey the settlers’ experience in the American West through letters and song, along with pony rides, doll and rope-making, round out the experience. Vendors, specifically selected to enhance the festival, will be featured adjacent to the Nature Center, offering a perfect memories of the weekend. Nature walks and talks will be featured throughout the day, educating visitors on the plight of the Lemon Lily and other environmental issues in our San Jacinto Mountains. If Mother Nature, cooperates visitors will have the opportunity to see the lily in bloom on both specimen plants and in its natural habitat. In the center of town, for the second year, the toe-tap-ping sounds of live bluegrass music will fill the air on Park Lane with various musicians performing, including last year’s favorite, Bodie Mountain Express, throughout the day. The stages will be surrounded by a predominance of Idyllwild’s various nonprofit and service organizations, offering information, fundraising products and refresh-ments. The Idyllwild Garden Club will, once again, be conducting tours at Erin O’Neill’s home. There you can see Lemon Lilies in a most beautiful and idyllic habitat. Throughout the weekend, shoppers can receive chances to win beautiful Idyllwild baskets filled with inn stays, restaurant experiences, and product and gift certificates, simply by shopping with sponsoring businesses. On Sunday, most of Saturday’s events will be repeated both at the Nature Center and in town, culminating in a 3:30 p.m. drawing for this year’s Lemon Lily Quilt, Idyllwild baskets and silent auction items. As a way to enjoy all the excitement, we encourage visitors to park their vehicles at either location and ride the convenient shuttles the Riverside County’s M.A.R.S. Program provides. Let us do the driving so you can enjoy the festival. We welcome everyone to this year’s Fourth-annual Lemon Lily Festival and hope you will enjoy the experience as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
In the spirit of “Celebration, Education & Restoration,”
The 2013 Lemon Lily Festival Steering Committee
Welcome to the fourth-annual Lemon Lily FestivalWhy restore the
Lemon Lily to Idyllwild?By Dave Stith
Harvey Monroe Hall conducted the first system-atic survey of the plants in the San Jacintos. His flora, “A Botanical Survey of San Jacinto Mountain,” was published in 1902. Of Lilium parryi he writes: “This lily, with its tall, erect stems and con-spicuous flowers either clear yellow or peppered with black, is a great favorite with the tourists and campers who annually visit the mountain. It was only a few years ago that the showy blossoms were very frequently encountered with along all the streams and bogs from nearly the lower edge of the Transition Zone up to an altitude of 9,000 feet, thus reaching into the lower part of the Ca-nadian Zone. While it is now by no means rare, is still only found in profusion only on the more remote parts of the mountain. That this is due entirely to the diligence of the bulb hunters is hard to believe, and yet one party took over 5,000 bulbs in a single season. Perhaps this, in addition to several consecutive dry summers, is responsible for the rapid depletion in their numbers.” From this we can learn three things: 1) They were once much more abundant than they are now; 2) The tourists who visited the mountain knew of them and; 3) Thousands of them were dug up and forever removed from the mountain. I wanted to see if it was still true that they could be found in profusion on the more remote parts of the mountain, or if conditions were now such that there was no hope of ever bringing them back. In 2009 I enlisted Tom Chester, along with some of our friends and colleagues, to help me count every lemon lily in Willow and Tahquitz creeks. We counted 2,662 plants including new seedlings, immature plants that had not yet bloomed, flow-ering plants, and plants in fruit with seeds. This appeared to be a healthy reproducing population. If they can still grow where they have not been disturbed by people, I began to ask why not in Idyllwild if we just give them a chance.
ABOUT THE COVER: Annamarie Padula of Idyllwild is referred to in quilting circles as a master quilter due to her level of excellence and consistency in achieving recognition for her creations. Her inspira-tion from this quilt came from Colin Garth Smith’s Lemon Lily Art Banner that won last year’s banner contest. This quilt will be on display throughout the weekend and auctioned off Sunday afternoon. Chances to win the quilt will be available all weekend at the festival.

Back for the second year, the Lemon Lily Festival will feature two days of “A Little Bluegrass,” with musicians performing throughout the day, Saturday and Sunday. (Read more on page 6.) Idyllwild’s nonprofit and service organizations will create a unique “marketplace” surrounding the bluegrass stages with booth’s offering food, crafts, jewelry and more — even a “beehive” hairdo contest. Another successful repeat from last year is our Lemon Lily Banner Contest, offering original banners created by local artists that are hung throughout town to advertise the festival. (More on page 10.) This display of beautiful Lemon Lily-inspired 3-foot-by-5-foot banners is in partnership with the Art Alliance of Idyllwild, with the banners being a part of a silent auction after Lemon Lily weekend. Of course, the festival would not be complete without repeating other successes from the years — guided, bot-anist-led walking tours and hikes, opportunities to view Lemon Lilies growing along local stream beds, Pioneer Town arts and crafts, and a Friday evening July 12 Lemon Lily Launch and Taste of Idyllwild (a combined kick-off fundraiser this year) featuring food and treats from local restaurants and music set at a beautiful and tranquil pri-vate residence. More information about all of these events and the festival in general may be found online at www.lemonlilyfestival.com.
Lemon Lily Launch & Taste of Idyllwild This year the festival is combining two popular fundraisers into one peaceful but
exciting evening. Join us at a lovely, idyllic private residence for an eve-ning of celebration in honor of the
Lemon Lily. Some of Idyllwild’s favorite restaurants will
be on site serving sam-ples of specially created dishes. The evening
will include live mu-sic with beverages available. Tickets
at $30 per person in advance are available prior to
the event at the Nature Center and in front of
the Idyllwild Post Office, or $35 at the door The event
is from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 12.
Get out in natureBy Dave StithLemon lily hike guide
For me, the greatest joy of the Lemon Lily Festival weekend is having the op-portunity to share the story of the Lemon Lily (Lilium parryi) and showcase the other local wildflowers we so often take for granted but are seldom seen by people off “The Hill.” The grand finale of these walks and talks is the Sunday High Country Hike. This year’s excursion to Tahquitz Valley, led by local naturalist Michael Wangler, will offer an opportunity to experience Lemon Lilies where they still thrive. We will meet in Idyllwild at Humber Park at the base of the iconic Lily Rock at an elevation of 6,480 feet. We will hike the Devils Slide Trail 2.52 miles to Saddle Junction at an elevation of 8,075 feet where we will stop briefly to rest and enjoy a snack or lunch while taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest. From there we will take one of the two trails into the valley looking for Lemon Lilies as we go. A plant guide to the Devils Slide Trail that includes a printable guide to the locations of plants along the trail plus links to other pages containing photos and guides to other trails may be found at www.tchester.org/sb/plants/guides/devils_slide.html. Space is limited so an RSVP is required. Contact hikes@ lemonlilyfestival.com for more information or to RSVP.
Lemon Lily ToursBy Antoinette BerthelotteIdyllwild Garden Club
The Idyllwild Garden Club offers an exceptional treat during the festival. Visitors will enjoy Lemon Lilies in a delightful streamside stroll on private property within feet of a shuttle drop-off. The O’Beck Garden is nestled in a shady glen that not only has Lemon Lilies on site, but docents will point out a number of our lovely and unique native flowers, including elderberry, columbine, mountain azalea, pink mountain currant, monkey flower, thimbleberry, ferns and more, all in a tree-shaded habitat on Strawberry Creek.
The terrain is not difficult, al-though wheelchairs and walkers are not recommended. The average visit is 20 to 30 minutes, but visitors may stay and sit a spell. The O’Beck Garden is a scheduled shuttle stop, though roadside parking is available at the garden. Guided strolls start at 11 a.m. and the last one starts at
3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets — $5 per person, or $10 per family and children are free — may be pur-chased in town or on site. All proceeds go to help the nonprofit Garden Club continue building the native plant demonstration garden at the Historical Society, educational events and beautification projects throughout Idyllwild. See more information at www.idyllwildgardenclub.com, or call (951) 659-2907 or (858) 472-4337.
For the kids Our popular Pio-neer Town will be part of the festival events at the Idyllwild Na-ture Center. A high-light, again this year, are performances by the Pennyroyal Players (www.pennyroyalplay-ers.org). The group travels from Vermont to California, bringing lively and touching musical portraits about those who settled the American West. Through story and song, “Piecin’ It Together” reveals the humor and hardships of pioneering life — endured by men, women and children. The first show starts at 11 a.m. and a second at 2 p.m. on Saturday and there is one show at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday. Also returning this year is the hands-on, scale-sized log cabin. This interactive exhibit helps kids, both big and small, understand how homes were built when the Lemon Lily flourished on our mountain. Pony rides for the kids, a working blacksmith, gold panning, children’s crafts, wool spinning and period characters complete the day.

This year’s festival is called “The 2013 Idyllwild Lemon Lily Festival & a Little Bluegrass.” The bluegrass headliner is Bodie Mountain Express, slated for Saturday evening, July 14, and Sunday afternoon, July 15, between the Fort and Jo’An’s Restau-rant on the main stage. The street will be closed off and set with tables, along with food and beer service. This year the festival has been expanded to Jo’An’s Beer Garden as well, where you can see acts alternating between the main stage and Jo’An’s. Back by popular demand will be our master of ceremonies, Idyllwild’s own Doug Austin.
With two stages alter-nating music, we’ll have non-stop entertainment. Here’s a quick rundown of both days’ entertain-ment. Saturday, Sandii Cas-tleberry performs her popular Aunt Sandii children’s show from 11 a.m. to noon on the main town stage. Immediate ly a f ter Aunt Sandii, Three For Joy will perform from noon to 12:30 p.m. on
the main town stage. Next will be Jamie Olsen and Kathleen John-son on Jo’An’s B e e r G a r d e n Stage from 1 to 2 p.m. T h e R e e d Brothers Band — Don Reed, dobro, guitar and man-do l i n ; D en n i s Reed, guitar and
vocals; and Kevin Gore, banjo and v o c a l s — play from 3 to 4 p.m. on the Jo’An’s Beer Garden stage. B o d i e Mo u n t a i n E x p r e s s takes the stage at 5:45 p.m. and plays until 6:30 on the main town stage. The headliner band includes Chuck Stewart, gui-tar and vocals; Bill Purcell, banjo and vocals; Conrad Norton, bass
and vocals; Duane Michaels, fiddle and vocals; and Chuck Tucker, mandolin and vocals, will close Saturday’s festivi-ties. On Sunday, the Celtic Kids open on the Park Lane Stage performing from 11 to 11:30 a.m. Next up, the Jamie Olsen Band — Jamie Olsen, gui-tar and vocals; John King fiddle, guitar and vocals;
Dennis Rog-er Reed, bass; a n d D o n Reed, dobro and mando-lin — plays f rom noon to 1 p.m. on Jo’An’s Beer Garden stage. This will be a special treat as Jamie will perform her w o n d e r f u l re n d i t i o n s o f the popular Al i son Krauss music. Immediately following Jamie Olsen are the Little Pups of Possum Hollow who’ll perform on the main town stage from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Next up, John King and Friends appear on Jo’An’s Beer Garden Stage from 3 to 3:30 p.m. Closing Sunday’s fes-tivities, Bodie Mountain Express performs on the main town stage from 4 to 5 p.m. Times and musician line-
u p s are subject to change. This in-town event might re-vive memories — for those who were here then — of Idyllwild’s 1970s-era Bluegrass Festival. The Idyllwild festival ran from 1974 to 1979. In addition to providing some high-energy musical entertain-ment for Lemon Lily Festival pa-trons, this inaugural free evening of bluegrass music and next day concert and jam will allow festi-val attendees to eat, drink, twirl, stomp and dance in Idyllwild’s warm evening summer air.

Hold onto your hats and tune up your ears, the Penny-royal Players are coming to the 2013 Lemon Lily Festival. This talented group of five women entertained audiences last year with their performance of “Piecin’ it Together.” “Piecin’ it Together” uses storytelling and song to present portraits of people who settled the American West. Their experiences reveal some of the hardships, triumphs and humor that was part of the pioneering life in the 18th and 19th centuries. The five talented women who perform “Piecin’” use song and stories within a framework of quilting, intro-ducing us to people who were part of the frontier and immigrant experience. This Pennyroyal production was inspired by the musical play “Quilters,” but the music is different. “I’m a folksinger from the 1960s, so I had to use traditional songs and folk music that was around in that period,” says director Anne Destabelle, who created this show when she founded the group in 2005. Even if you were one of the lucky people who caught one or more of Pennyroyal’s four performances at last years’ Lemon Lily Festival, it won’t be the same this July.
“The script con-tinues to evolve,” says Destabelle. The group’s rep-ertoire has also grown over the years, and now includes “Romp T h r o u g h t h e American Revolu-tion” and “Songs and Stor ies of Stephen Foster.” P e n n y r o y -a l P l aye r s a re proud to have d o n a t e d m o re than $50,000 in performance fees to charities that support special programs for children and the arts. “In fact, we donate all our proceeds to these charities,” says
Destabelle, who lives in the Palos Verdes area of Los Angeles County.
Pennyroyal Players return to Lemon Lily Festival
To encourage tourists and shoppers to patronize local businesses, the Lemon Lily Festival has put together three “Spirit of Idyllwild” baskets containing gift certificates, products, inn stays and meals donated by local businesses sponsoring the festival. The baskets, along with a fourth “Gardener’s” basket donated by the Idyllwild Garden Club, will be raffled off at the festival’s conclusion, at 3:30 p.m. Sunday July 14, at the Nature Center. On Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14, sponsoring businesses, whether they be gift shops, restaurants or inns, will reward customers for their patronage with raffle entry tickets for every $10 spent. No tickets are sold for this event. Customers and visitors will be instructed to take their tickets to either the Nature Center or the Lemon Lily Festival booth on Park Lane where they can see pictures of the baskets and enter the raffle for the basket of their choice. Our hope is to provide the means for a return visit to our community “on us!”

About the Lemon Lily Lemon Lily or Parry’s Lily, Lilium parryi, is named in honor of Dr. Charles Christo-pher Parry, a re-nowned botanist who was among the first to collect it in the summer of 1876. Lilium parryi of the Family Liliaceae is a perennial herb which grows from a bulb with a stem reaching a height of 1.9 meters. It has scattered or whorled leaves with very fragrant lem-on-yellow funnel shaped flowers. In Southern California it grows in the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains as well as Palomar Mountain. Small populations can also be found in southeastern Arizona in the Santa Rita, Huachuca, and Chiricahua Mountains and in extreme northern Sonora, Mexico in the Sierra Los Ajos. The lilies inhabit springs, seeps, wet meadows, and shady canyon bottoms along perennial streams at an elevation of 4,000 to 9,000 feet. Forest fire and subsequent erosion have severely impacted three populations in Arizona (Falk and Warren, 1994), and their populations have been negatively impacted by “flower pullers” in Palomar (Craig H. Reiser, 1994) and bulb collectors in San Jacinto (H.M. Hall, 1902). It is uncommon throughout its California range and close to extirpation in San Diego County (Craig H. Reiser, 1994) and is listed by state and federal agencies as a sensitive species that should be protected. For More information about the Lemon Lily, visit Michael Charter’s site at www.calflora.net/bloomingplants/lemonlily.html.
Lemon lily blessing A special Lemon Lily blessing will be offered at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, July 13, at the Idyllwild Nature Center.
The Idyllwild Lemon Lily Festival continues to evolve. Honoring its commitment to edu-cation this year we are happy to announce that the festival will host a panel of guest speakers talking on a wide range of topics related to our local forest. Jennifer Gee, Director of the James Reserve, will talk about “The James Reserve: Past, Present, and Future.”;
James Reserve alums Anne Kelly and Aaron Fellows will talk about their research on “How Climate Change Is Affecting Our Local Mountains.” San Jacinto District Wildlife Biologist Anne Poopa-tanapong will talk about “Life in the Creek: The En-dangered Mountain Yellow-legged Frog.” Visitors to the Lemon Lily Fes-t i v a l m a y a s k , “What are all those signs?” USFS spe-c ia l i s t Kayanna Warren will talk about “The Gold Spotted Oakborer Beetle aka GSOB, I t s De vas ta t ing Effects, Local Ef-forts to Abate It, and How Visitors to Idyllwild Can Help.” Dave Stith will give talks about Lemon Lilies and give a presentation entitled “Seeds and Weeds or How Non-native Plants Get Introduced into Pristine Areas, Why That’s Bad, and Steps to Help Prevent It.” The talks will be given on Saturday and Sunday during festival hours in the conference room at the Idyllwild Nature Center. See the schedule on page 9 for the days and times.

Lemon Lily Festival banners return The Lemon Lily Festival committee and community were so pleased with the outcome of last year’s art banner program — asking local artists to paint original pieces on one side of banners advertising the festival — that the program returned this year. This year 12 art banners, larger than last year’s at 3 by 5 feet, were hung throughout town, promoting the festival and creating a public art display for the next few weeks. Organizers worked with the Art Alliance of Idyllwild to install permanent hardware throughout the village, so that not only will the Lemon Lily Festival be promoted with original, locally created art banners, but other local events will be as well. Watch for the banners throughout town and find your favorite. After the festival, the banners will be available for auction. Check out lemonlilyfestival.com for information about the banner auction. Gideon Cohn, Valentina Ratschenko and Eliott Taylor, whose
backgrounds range from artist to gallery owner and art histo-rian, took on the job of selecting first, second and third place winners from a field of 12 art banners submitted by area artists. The winners will be announced on Sunday, July 14, during the Lemon Lily Festival at the Nature Center. The public is invited to vote for their “People’s Choice” favorite online at lemonlilyfestival.com.

lemon lilies that are available for purchase. Tissue culture is another way that seems to be successful as well. But it’s hard to cut up even one bulb to do this! Lily enthusiasts world-wide know about the lemon lily; it has been used extensively in breeding programs to produce some of the most beautiful garden cultivars. At least three lily hybrids have been developed by crossing the lemon lily with other kinds of lilies and then reproducing them by the methods mentioned; one is “San Gabriel”. This may be the way to direct our low-
land lily lovers to plants that will grow in valley gardens — and are at least “part Lemon Lily”. Genetically variable populations in the wild are important for lemon lilies to persist; lilies must have a pollinator to produce seed. Available information suggests that sphinx moths (Hyles lineata and Sphinx perelegans) are the main pollinators. It makes sense; the lemon lily flowers are the most fragrant at dusk when moths would be flying. We really need to do a lemon lily “stake-out” and watch plants for a day and late evening to find out who is visiting our lilies here. In one of the earliest floras of the San Jacinto Mountains, an observation was made of the incredible collecting pressures
by admirers trying to get the lemon lily in the nurs-ery trade. With so many bulbs re-moved from our mountains, it’s no wonder that the lemon lily is a rare plant. The drought in the 1970s may also have dried up much of the lily’s habitat as well; fluctuating water levels have affected lily populations in Arizona. With a little care and attention, the Lemon Lily will continue to grace our moun-tains and be part of our lives.

The lemon lily, one of our most spectacular local wildflowers, is rare and uncommon but not on the endangered species list. This 3 to 5 foot plant with large showy yellow flowers and whorled leaves is found in mountain creeks from 5,000 to 9,000 feet in our Southern Cal-ifornia Mountains with a few — maybe two — populations in the mountains of Southern Arizona as well. Today, this is where the lily is found, in scattered groups in the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains. Moist habitats are key. Lily seed needs to be moist and cool to germinate and grow in the following year. Seeds develop into scaly bulbs about an inch in diameter. When the bulb has accumulated enough energy, in three to five years, it will produce a flowering stalk with one to nine or more fragrant yellow flowers. Plants in nature don’t appear to multiply by bulb; the extent of vegetative reproduction is unknown. However in culture, scales from the bulb can be removed and placed in a special soil mix to grow into individual bulbs. This is how nurseries from out of the area (in Oregon) produce
Natural history of our lemon lily
By Dave stith
I have frequently been asked about Lilium parryi var. kessleri, so I would like to clear up the confusion about this variety of Lemon Lily. In 1924, Davidson defined a new taxon of Lemon Lily from the San Gabriel Mountains that he called variety kessleri based on the following characteristics: • leaves large, ovate to lancelate, 12 to 15 cm long and 4 cm wide, sessile with a narrow base, thin in texture, semi-transparent on drying and glistening on lower surface • leaves below in whorls of 6, fewer and less definitely whorled above • anthers brown, 5 to 7 mm long • pistil much longer than anthers This distinction has since fallen out of favor. Modern floras either make no mention of var. kessleri or list it as a synonym for Lilium parryi. The latest treatment from the Flora of North America states: “Plants from the San Gabriel Mountains of California sometimes have wider leaves and have been given the status Lilium parryi var. kessleri, but this variation is due primarily to the rather shaded habitat of many of these populations. No significant vegetative discontinuity can be recognized across the range of this species, so no varieties are recognized here.” I had noticed for some time that the leaf structure of Lemon Lilies is highly variable. Since leaf size was said to be the distinguishing factor for var. kessleri, in 2010 Tom Chester and I set about to test this claim by measuring Lem-on Lily leaves wherever we found them in the San Jacintos. As expected we found plants with leaves with a wide range of sizes and shapes. Within our San Jacinto population we found some lilies that matched or even exceded the range of sizes given for var. kessleri. We also found plants with leaves that exceded the number per whorl for var. kessleri. By reviewing his photos Tom found some flowers with yellow anthers and others that were brown. Some plants had pistils longer than the anthers, and others had pistils the same length as the anthers. So even though some references, both old and new, still list var. kessleri we found nothing unique about it confirm-ing what the FNA now asserts. This does not imply that all Lemon Lilies are genetically identical, but until DNA testing can prove otherwise there are no recognized varieties of Lemon Lily. I would like to acknowledge Tom’s assistance in this analysis, and Kate Kramer for finding the complete text of Davidson’s 1924 article.
